ELECTRIC LIGHT.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 280,677, dated July 3, 1883.

Application filed December 26, 1882. (No model.) I

To au whom it may concern/.-

Be it known that I, FAUNT LEROY SENOUE, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at New Alexandria, inthe county of Westmoreland and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Beflectors for Electric Lights; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or iigures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of' this specification, and in which` Figure l is a perspective showing` the reflector elevated to thetop of the globes, the arrangement of elevating chains or wires, adjusting-arms, globes, &c. Fig. 2 is a view of the reflector withthe leaves adjusted at an angle above ahorizontal plane, and the dotted lines showing leaves adjusted at an angle below a horizontal plane.

My invention has for its object to provide a reflector and globes for' an electric light which can be readily adjusted to reflect the light over a larger or smaller area, and easily removed when it is desired to adjust the carbons.

Similar 4`letters of reference .indicate like v parts.

Referring to the drawings, A is the top of the electric lamp, B, the wire or iron rod attached thereto and forming a support for the lower-carbon holders C.

D are the upper-carbon holders.

E is the reilector, formed in two leaves or parts, E and E, hinged at xe e. The back or upper side of said reflector may be made of wood or any other suitable material'. The lower orqreflecting side can be made of plain looking-glass or any other reilecting material. In the center of said reflector is a circular opening, F, which allows the reflectors to be moved up or down over the globes or carbons.

. f f f f are openings through which pass the vertical portions of therod B and nthe adjusting-chains H, hereinafter described, all of said openings F and f f j' f being insulated, and

thus allowing the reflector to be moved up or down and adjusted at any desired point.

G G are curved adjusting-arms attached to the ends of the reflectors, having the holes g and screws g', fastening said arms together, and 5 5 by which the leaves of the reflector can be adjusted at an angle above or below a horizontal plane-as it is desired to reflect the light over a larger or smaller area-by moving said screws from one set of' holes to another.

H H are insulated adjusting wires or chains, having the balancing-weights H H, and by which wires or chains the reflector is raised or lowered, as desired. Said wires or chains H H are secured in any suitable manner to the back of the reflector, as at 7L h, and passing up over the pulleys 71, 7L', down through the holes Ihe reflector being raised or lowered to Y the desired position, the wires or chains H H are wrapped around or fastened to the hori- 7o zontal portion of the rod B, thus holding the reflector in place. If desired, the reflector can be made in morevthan two leaves and connected by hinges.

I and K are the globes of the .lamp surrounding the carbons, the lower globe, I, being secured in any suitable manner to thehori- 4zontal portion of the rod, and the upper globe, K, being secured to the top of said globe I in any suitable manner. By this arrangement the globes can be readily removed for the adjustment of the carbons. Said lower globe, I, can be made of stained glass, and the upper globe may be made with a flange which will engage with the reilector and be raised from the lower globe when the reflector is raised above the top of the said globes.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim l. The combination of the reflector E, composed of two parts, E and E, having the insulated holes f, the curved adjusting-arms G, and screws g, and means for holding the same at any desired point of adjustment on the lampframe, substantially as shown and described. 95
